This early 70's giallo by Umberto Lenzi is certainly among the best in his filmography and also in the whole genre. Personally I think Lenzi's best films are the funny cartoon-turned-film Kriminal, the stylish giallo Seven Blood-Stained Orchids, the explosive Napoli violenta and this. In the eighties he did plenty of film trash in form of Eaten Alive, Hitcher in the Dark or Black Demons, all of which are ripping something off and/or very dull and slow moving. Knife of Ice came when the giallo boom was at its hottest and the result is convincing.
Technically the film is superb, containing great cinematography in the beginning when we learn about the main character's trauma towards trains. From this point on, Lenzi shows us his ability to benefit the widescreen and, for example, the bicycle ride near the forest is genuinely beautiful! This scene also shows Lenzi's ability to build suspense, very slowly but meaningfully. After all, there aren't so many murders in the whole film, only the suspense circulating around the murderer's identity.
One suspect is a devil worshipper which brings new aspects to the mystery. Since the final scene takes place in a church, one can wonder if Lenzi wanted to comment on something, maybe the hypocritical morale of church and superstition. The main character (Carrol Baker) is mute which demands a lot from her face and eyes. The actress works very well, giving us a believable performance circulating around the emotions of fear and mental pain. The other actors are good, too. The finally, however, may not give too positive a sight about female sex since they all are expressed rather negatively in the film, one way or another. Still this is easily among the most noteworthy in the genre, not as bloody as the Argento films, for example, but equally suspenseful and visually also interesting.
拍的好好，很平实温馨，想起看俗女那些情绪，潮汕歌好感人，妈妈这个人物特别真实，无论是不是潮汕人都会共情吧
强行he，笑点笑不出来，泪点哭不出来
赞赏印度和韩国的勇气，比中国人敢拍，可能他们没有广电总局这样机构存在。这部片子结尾太美好，但是后面的生活还会继续，问题还会存在。
男女主对同性之间的火花演技是有点欠缺的吧，看不出很有激情的感觉。但题材大胆！印度都把txl和形*婚搬上荧幕了！很惊喜！全片最好看最升华的当属后面男女主分别对家里出柜啦，把那个群体面对的社会家庭压力表现得很深刻！btw，女主的女情人那个演员真的不是华裔吗？脸长得so chinese！
形婚的结局只能是用一个又一个的谎言来圆最初的谎言。最后那段pride游行有戳到泪点。
潮汕的封建传统，和开放文化的碰撞体现得淋漓尽致。
只不过喜欢了同性 或主动或被动的向家人述说真实的自己 就像做了十恶不赦的坏事 有问题的到底是谁 还好正常的地方越来越多
印度电影题材类型真是年年刷新，且质量优良。有生之年内地有这样的影视上映吗？
故事节奏再快点比较好，歌舞占的时间挺长的，还是很具有现实意义的
连隔壁都敢于正视这个社会需要面对的一些情感问题，说多了也无法改变这里的环境
永结同心🙏🏻 喜剧拍得好 感情戏部分光线也厉害的 作品意义大过于一切 质量可以 喜欢喜欢
感觉国内老是说印度怎么封建、怎么闭塞，但是人家这种类型的剧和电影一个接着一个，反观国内：《老友记》里关于Ross前妻的剧情几乎被剪完了，同性接个吻还要被打码或者干脆不让播。
严防死守！都是骗你先结婚，结婚就万事大吉了吗？生孩子！生了以后呢？二胎！再生一个以后呢？三胎！剧是皆大欢喜，现实中有风险需谨慎。（ps：女二好像张钰琪啊，嗓音也有点沙 “你真的要抽血吗？还是我们可以去喝咖啡？”）
绝对不是说支持形婚
虽然剧情和叙事都很一般，但场景和情节都太真实了，受众是在外的潮汕人吧？
男主、女主都有情绪爆发的表演高光，但最感动的情节反而来自临近结尾的一个【欺骗性】黑屏，相信没快进的观众会被那情节所触动。
能拍出形婚这种题材的电影无疑又是一个进步，至少能把这种现象通过电影摆在明面上，而不是视而不见听而不闻。为了摆脱家人的逼婚而形婚，可形婚又怎能解决后面一系列的窘境呢？还是要面对真实的自己，勇敢争取自己作为性少数应得的权利，最后的光明磊落总好过躲躲藏藏，圆满大结局。有些剧情可以删一下，絮絮叨叨的困的要命。
开头还以为是劣质烂梗喜剧，在媚俗和民俗之间两头拉扯，还好后者逐渐占了上风。这个妈妈太真实了，尤其是后来去深圳和杭州，处处都能看到我妈的影子，素人演到这个程度还是挺厉害的。
太好了，第一次看以这么讲述同性爱情的片子，用大多数人都能接受的方式和视角。最后男主浅浅但久违自由的手势简直炸了。情理上来说，我对八十老母都说得明白的关于同性之爱的道理，法律和社会却对此讳莫如深。悲哀，痛心。
政治不正确下的政治正确。自己也跟女生在一起了所以很有感触，感谢这些发声。
